Lesson 13:Orthographic Drawings – Sections

Concept of a Section

When sections are cut through small portions of a space or object, they are often referred to as section details or details. (Figure – 1) However, a section drawing is different from these drawings in that a section drawing typically refers to a drawing that cuts through a single space, many spaces on a single floor, or an entire building. Detail drawings are not always drawn in section and may include an enlarged drawing of the floor plan or elevation.
